America has a God-shaped hole in its heart, argues New York Times best-selling author Ben Shapiro, and we shouldn't fill it with politics and hate.
In 2016, Ben Shapiro spoke at UC Berkeley. Hundreds of police officers were required from 10 UC campuses across the state to protect his speech, which was - ironically - about the necessity for free speech and rational debate.
He came to argue that Western civilization is in the midst of a crisis of purpose and ideas. Our freedoms are built upon the twin notions that every human being is made in God’s image and that human beings were created with reason capable of exploring God’s world.
We can thank these values for the birth of science, the dream of progress, human rights, prosperity, peace, and artistic beauty. Jerusalem and Athens built America, ended slavery, defeated the Nazis and the Communists, lifted billions from poverty, and gave billions spiritual purpose. Jerusalem and Athens were the foundations of the Magna Carta and the Treaty of Westphalia; they were the foundations of the Declaration of Independence, Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail.
Civilizations that rejected Jerusalem and Athens have collapsed into dust. The USSR rejected Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, substituting a new utopian vision of “social justice” - and they starved and slaughtered tens of millions of human beings. The Nazis rejected Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, and they shoved children into gas chambers. Venezuela rejects Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, and citizens of their oil-rich nation have been reduced to eating dogs.
We are in the process of abandoning Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, favoring instead moral subjectivism and the rule of passion. And we are watching our civilization collapse into age-old tribalism, individualistic hedonism, and moral subjectivism. We believe we can reject Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law and satisfy ourselves with intersectionality, or scientific materialism, or progressive politics, or authoritarian governance, or nationalistic solidarity.
We can’t.
The West is special, and in The Right Side of History, Ben Shapiro bravely explains that it’s because too many of us have lost sight of the moral purpose that drives us each to be better, or the sacred duty to work together for the greater good, or both. A stark warning, and a call to spiritual arms, this audiobook may be the first step in getting our civilization back on track.

Geschichte
From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times' 1619 project, the modern Left views American history through the lens of competing oppressions, replacing the traditional understanding that all Americans are part of a shared journey toward the perfection of universal ideals. Their attacks on the values that built our nation, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, are insidious because they replace each of them with nothing beyond an increased reliance on the government.

Geschichte
From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own 11 years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair.

Geschichte
In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Black Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the Black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the Black community’s ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American dream.

In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face - we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.

Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions.

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Sehr kurzweilig und prägnantes Buch
Shapiro ist ein intellektuell belesener und gebildeter Mann aus der oberen Mittelschicht der US-Westküste. Die Art und Weise wie er argumentiert hat ihn zum Star gemacht - und für seine Kritiker zum Feinbild. Er polarisiert mit seinen Äußerungen und Thesen, diese fußen jedoch auf ausgesprochen breitem Fundus an Geschichte, Soziologie und Politik. Als Jurist versteht er sein Handwerk zu debattieren und Argumente sehr präzise zu formulieren. Zyniker werfen ihm vor ignorant zu sein, doch seine Dialoge mit Linken und Libertären zeigen vom genauen Gegenteil. Er hört die Gegenseite an, stellt kritische Fragen - seien sie noch so unangenehm. Und er reflektiert sich selbst und sucht die historische Auseinandersetzung mit Konservativen Ansichten und Gepflogenheiten. Für mich ist das Buch wie seine Kommentare und Podcasts anregend und vor allem kein Mainstream-Sprech. Shapiro ist für mich, wenn auch recht fokussiert auf die Geschehnisse in den USA, einer der wichtigsten Denker und Kommentatoren unserer neueren Zeit. Er liest teils etwas zu schnell, ich habe mich an seinen Stil jedoch gewöhnt und höre ihm gerne zu. Eine Empfehlung für Hörer, die sich abseits des politisch korrekten Mainstreams weiterbilden möchten.

Food for thought
Fascinating read. I especially liked how Ben reasons about multiple ideas that were very counter-intuitive in their day and age (like that owning slaves is diminishing for the slave owner, not only for the slave) came out of the Bible and were unlikely to have spread without it. How religion pushed people to stay in monasteries and study the world in God's name, what became the foundation of knowledge gathering and eventually science. How the theory of evolution was a turning point when people collectively tried to find their place in the world "without God" and implications of that. The book ties together religion, works of great writers, scientists, philosophers, and thinkers. It's a must-read for anyone who likes to think about a variety of subjects because it shows that there are structure and connection between seemingly contrary ideas.

Boring
It is basically the same as a philosophy class in catholic school. Boring and monoton, Shapiro reads like he is bored by his own book. Jordan Peterson goes over the same concepts in his free you tube lectures and makes it entertaining. Still don't get why Peterson and Shapiro cling so desperately to God, to each his own I guess. Also did you know Shapiros wife is a doctor!
